Common Questions and Answers about Bumps on skin on face

If the whiteheads surface, it will be in the form of blackheads or white pustules.
Proactiv should help, but on some types of skin Proactive can make the skin drier and tighter, which will worsen the blocked pores. If this should happen, a quality facial moisturizer day and night will help keep the skin supple to allow topical medicines to get into the pores.

Now, around my lips I have developed many little tiny bumps, they look like goosebumps but are sitting on top of the skin so feel rough and are barely noticeable unless in direct light. A nurse told me this was just dry skin but I have never had dry skin like this. These bumps literally developed over night ?
What do you think this could be? And is there anything I can do to help it?

You should use a medicated sun screen all the time - preferably one prescribed by your doctor or skin specialist.
You should wash your face several times with a non drying face wash and also refrain from using too many cosmetic products. Drink plenty of water, and wear a hat when going out in the sun, or use an umbrella.
If the lesions still remain after a few days, consult your doctor or skin specialist and get a clinical examination.

Hello,
I have developed red bumpson my skin about a week and a half ago, as if they were pimples (but the ones you can't pop) and tried cleaning my skin more thoroughly and nothing happened. Today I decided to exfoliate it a bit, to see if the bumps would improve and now my face is even worse. The area is red, and it hurts (burns, stings) and I put some polysporin on the skin to prevent infection.
Does anybody have any idea what this is and what may have caused it?

I have these bumpson my face. When I squeeze them white stuff comes out and its not really a white head and they aren't pimple. I don't know what to do to get rid of them. I've had them for probably almost a year and I don't know what they are. I am on a birth control called seasonique and it was supposed to help acne. PLEASE help. How do I get rid of these annoying bumps?

These bumps can be due to contact dermatitis, allergic reaction or can be due to folliculitis skin. Few other differentials for small, skin colored bumpson the face may be warts, skin tags and molluscum. Do these bumps have a central umbilication? Are they itchy or painful? It is important to have a detailed information about these bumps. Keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin may be needed if it is due to folliculitis.

I have also have white bumpson my face for the last 10 years, I am in my 50's. Nothing works and they are like hard white heads that are impossible to pop. Two dermos said there was nothing they could do for me...that it was adult acne. They said to try glycolic and salicylic acid peels. I have tried both for about a year and 30% salicylic acid seems to work the best as far as providing a good peel. This seems to thin the skin surface to make the whiteheads pop easier.

The skin of your face has a different make up than the skin
of your body. The skin of ones face is much more sensitive. Even though you have been using this product for years to wash your face, sometimes the skin on your face might become sensitive to it. I would try using a milder soap on your face. Possible choices are goat milk soap which is quite mild and has a nice smell. Body wash used as a facial cleaner might be too harsh for your face and that is why you are getting the little bumps.

I recently noticed these clear, non-itchy, bumpson my forehead and all over my face. I've had them before and they went away but this time there are more bumps and it has spread to the side of my face, under my nose, on the outside of my ear, and on my chin. I have not changed anything in my make-up routine, lotions, perfumes, or medications. The bumps are not red and don't itch. I have been washing my face with mental soap and warm water.

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern for the red bumpson your face.
Your concern for adenoma sebaceum is genuine because most of the cases present with tubular sclerosis. However definite tuberous sclerosis is diagnosed by either 2 major features or 1 major feature and 2 minor features and possible tuberous sclerosis is either 1 major feature or 2 minor features.

From time to time some of these bumps will act like a pimple and white puss does come out of it and some even have an ingrown hair come out as well. Is there anything I can do about these bumpson my face? They do not hurt but more than anything hurt my self esteem. By the way in the last five years they have seemed to get worse. Thanks for your help!

I have several small, raised white bumpson my face both in areas I shave and places I don't; these occur only on my face and once they appear don't get any larger. They are not red, not painful or itchy and they don't go away. I have every oily skin but generally don't get pimples.

I have developed some small skin/flesh colored bumpson my face. Mostly on my cheeks, but there are some everywhere. They are not itchy, or very noticalbe unless you are close up or in a room with good lighting. They are not pimples and therefore can not be squeezed. How do i get rid of them? I've only had them for about a week but i have been reading about similar problems and i cannot figure out what to do. Help!

My 7 yr old daughter has these tiny little bumpson the side of her face, bridge of her nose and around one of her eyes. They are not red, and the only ones that itch are the bumps around her eyes. They're flesh colored and you can only really see them in the light. I have no idea what this could be, some form of acne maybe??
Please help!!

Hello,
The tiny bumpson hairline and face are allergic reaction to the bleach you used. Take some antihistaminic like Benadryl or claritin. You can also apply calamine lotion on the rash. It will help in soothing the skin. A mild corticosteroid cream will also help. Also do not use this bleaching cream in the future.
If the symptoms persist then please get an evaluation done form a dermatologist.

Not sure if this is related, but I also have been experiencing nasal congestion, it seems like I have been picking my nose constantly. Im not sure how else to explain it. Please any tips would help.

I developed a little patch of small, skin-colored bumps that turn red when irritated, on the right side of my face some time ago, in addition to my regular acne. I started taking Yaz birth control, and then went to see a dermatologist who had me use Cera Ve cleanser and moisturizer and apply a Clindamyacin cream in the morning and Tretinoin at night. This helped my regular acne, but this little patch of bumps didn't go away, and another cluster started developing on my chin.

After using a particularly harsh range of skin care products, the skinon my face is now covered in small bumps. They appear to be under the surface of my skin. They do not itch but are very very unsightly. My condition looks better first thing in the morning but the appearance looks worse as the day progresses as my skin appears to get greasier as the day goes on.
